Tulip 'Queen of Night' brings deep maroon-purple flowers, almost black in some light, to the late spring garden. Its tall stems look lovely among pale tulips and emerging perennials, and make useful cut flowers.
Why we like it
- Rich, dark flowers add depth to spring borders.
- Tall stems work well in a vase.
- An easy way to add contrast to cottage garden planting.
What to know
- Position: Choose a sunny, sheltered spot with well-drained soil. Avoid ground that stays wet in winter.
- Planting: Plant in autumn, ideally October–November, about 15–20 cm deep and 10–15 cm apart. December planting is possible while the ground is workable.
- Containers: Use a pot with drainage holes and free-draining compost. Water after planting and during dry spells in active growth.
- After flowering: Remove faded flower heads and leave the foliage until it yellows naturally; this helps the bulbs build reserves.
- Handling: Ornamental tulip bulbs are not edible. Wear gloves if sensitive to bulbs.
Flower colour: Deep maroon-purple, appearing almost black.
Flowering months: April–May, depending on the season.
Height and spread: Approximately 60 cm; allow approximately 10–15 cm per bulb.
